AYRT

I can only go by what's been said. If it isn't what it sounds like, I assume the people involved know and can shrug off any useless suggestions.

It seems likely that Duchess's absence right now is for RL reasons and not deliberate, and hopefully she's okay.

Except Duchess claims IRL instances for everything she misses out on and she has missed out on a lot. She'll come back mid-week or a week or two later and claim some ailment. I *left* Fire because of that behavior. It will be some illness or accident that you can't call her out on because then it makes you look bad but it is ALWAYS something.

Didn't give overnight funds to someone and so people used personal funds instead of dom funds?
'I had to take care of my pet'

Didn't give out prizes or make a peep on a dom thread after a week?
'The stress of the dom push made me sick, I had to go to the hospital for ulcers'

It is every time and fire peeps just refused to listen. So there will be another excuse, people will rally behind her and send her gifts to hope she gets better and fire will move on with this train wreck. Just saying to all the other embers? It's completely different in other flights. Good luck.

It just sounds like she shouldn't be in Fire's dom team if she's running into so many issues that actively prevents her from doing her fucking job. Why are some embers enabling this? What exactly is she providing to the flight, other than her holding on to most if not all of the dom bank, that folks are letting her stay in power? Seems like it's better in the long run to just cut their losses and kick her out. Hopefully this time embers will learn NOT to put their entire bank on one person.

It's exactly what you said - it's tough to boot someone when they hold all the resources. However, I agree that embers should just push for it. Their spreadsheets are formatted terribly, so its not like they'd be losing much there if they can't get access to the base sheets. It sounds like Duchess uses the vault for her own means anyway, so might as well start a new one, etc.

you have nothing to lose but your chains, embers

So I've been in the talks with the AA and somehow they're saying that Duchess has never done these things. Which is complete bullshit because there's proof out there that she's done this. So I'll show them myself if I have to.

So folks, give me evidence, while I can trawl through the Fire-side of things. Apparently, because they want proof these things happened, they're more inclined to believe this has only happened once. You know, the whole disappearing act.

The only things I've seen in public are the shitstorm from last year: https://anonrerising.dreamwidth.org/4583.html?thread=4169447#cmt4169447

Perhaps there's more on SMR or DRR but it's hard to search when they don't allow full namedropping. Good luck compiling, nonny.

sa

Those links don't really have specific instances of her doing that though, at least from a quick skim through. But the shitstorm last year spoke for themselves.

consider a haiku:

sudden shit storm in
august? forgot it must be
lameforger's season!

who is LSPVSS or whatever i want to block them on fr

If they're doing that, Fire just joined my list of flights to never support again. The last support that they get from me is a foddart gem accent purchase because I'm not the kind of jerk to back out there.

I don't know about other flights, but in Fire, artists keep 100% of their foddart proceeds. So foddart already doesn't (directly) support the bank.

I'd always been under the impression that Foddart was actually a dom fundraiser. If you are correct, this means I can still use foddart for flights I refuse to support, as long as I stick to artists allowing currency payments. Thanks for the information.

I want to pay the artists. But I refuse to do it by handing a flight with something like fire's dom team fodder. So the gems can go to the deserving artist now.

It depends on the flight - I know both Ice and Lightning take a cut of foddart regardless of what type of payment, since they consider it renting a stall.

Light's foddartist keeps all the funds from their foddart. Light Dom considers it their payment, the same as they would get for doing the piece as a commission

AYRT

Foddart in Fire only serves to get us levels, all currency and even exalting profits are the artist's alone!

if that's their stance and handling of this then they deserve all the shit happening and that will happen in the future! sorry not sorry but Fire dearest, it's way past time to learn from your mistakes

as an ember who's only ever been barely involved in dom i sort of want to help out but i literally don't even know who's in AA or who makes all these decisions and i feel like i'm getting myself into more drama and trouble than it's worth. i'm debating if i should just stay away.

Crack, Boom.
